		<description><![CDATA[<font size="3"><font color="#FF0000">Well money talks and the heck with wildlife, old growth trees and those dedicate to be a voice for the trees and wild life. &#160;On Southern Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast protesters have been sitting in trees for weeks and months, to try to stop an interchange off the highway. They are protecting trees and a frog habitat below. There is no need for such an interchange from the highway to what is called goldstream ave as there is road just a couple minutes walking&#160;distance<br />
that connects the highway and goldstream.&#160;Last week 70 heavenly armed swat officers went in to<br />
arrest a handful or unarmed and peaceful protesters. &#160;To call it overkill is an understatement. &#160;Maybe the police were expecting to find the taliban on Vancouver&#160;Island, but the Canadian constitution does say citizens have the right to peace protest it does not list any<br />
methods such as tree sitting as prohibitted. &#160;The police and redneck supports thought the protest<br />
was over they were wrong as the next day other supporters of old growth and frog habitat are<br />
to take &#160;their place. &#160;To add insult to injury the city of Langford (a Victoria suburb) want to sue<br />
the protesters for policing cost. &#160;What's they point the city is unlikely to ever collect as the<br />
protesters don't have the estimated $100 000 and that's assuming the city wins. &#160;Policing is<br />
a direct expense that cost the city regardless of whether they're in the donut shop, breaking up<br />
a fight somewhere or bothering peaceful protesters. &#160;In that light I don't know why the mayor<br />
of Langford thinks he has a chance. &#160;It is plantiff in this case the city is legal obligated to mitigate<br />
loses and police overkill is not mitigating lose. &#160;The fact that they have to pay for police service<br />
regardless pretty well mitigates things. &#160;It is clearly to intimidate people form standing up for<br />
what they believe in. &#160;To make things worse a developer wants to sue protesters against his<br />
mountain side condo development for a billion dollars, that's called unjust enrichment, that's<br />
called beyond greed, that's called gimme-a-break.<br /></font></font>
